It was a cold and wet December day

When we touched down at JFK

Snow was melting on the ground

New York like a Christmas tree

So long...Angel of Harlem

Birdland on 53, the street sounds like a symphony
We got John Coltrane and a love supreme
Miles and she has to be an Angel
Lady Day got diamond eyes
She sees the truth behind the lies (Angel)

Blue light on the avenue
God knows they got to you
An empty glass, the lady sings
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
Blinded you lost your way
On the side streets and the alleyways
Like a star exploding in the night
Filling up the city with broad daylight
G
An Angel in Devil's shoes
D
Salvation in the blues
C F
You never looked like an Angel
F G C5 F5
So long...Angel of Harlem
